gcc is the GNU C Compiler. 'gcc': program not found means that you don't have it installed. While many perl modules are pure Perl (so all you need to install them is nmake) some have C or XS source code that requires comilation into a binary executable as part of the install process.

Get a copy of Win32 gcc from here http://www.mingw.org/

This still won't help you as the first error refers to the command mkdir -p /blah/subdir/subdir/subdir The -p option for mkdir is a *nix one and means make any required parent directories if they don't exist, so that the final subdir can be generated. This smells like a very unix oriented install shell script that is not going to run on Win32 without (extensive) modification.

You best bet will be to find a precompiled binary for Win32. Try ActiveState for a ppm or the Gtk website You are (probably) going to need the Win32 version of the GIMP to run this ( GTK == Gimp Tool Kit ) anyway.

PS: You are young. Now is the time to dual boot that system of yours and get Linux. IMHO Mandrake is the easiest to install, configure and use - you can even have a GUI that looks just like windows if you want.
